• Heat the butter and one tablespoon peanut or safflower oil in a large frying pan and lightly brown the chicken pieces on either side, a few at a time, without crowding the pan. Remove to a plate and keep warm.
• Add the shallots and garlic and soften. Drain the mushrooms, pouring their liquid through a sieve lined with paper towel. Reserve the liquid. Rinse the mushrooms under cold water and chop them coarse.
• Add the mushrooms with their liquid, the tomatoes and the wine to the skillet. Cover and simmer gently for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, trim the outer leaves and stalks from the artichoke hearts, making sure you have removed any tough leaves. Cut the tops off, leaving about an inch or so of artichoke.

Using the flat side of a meat mallet, pound gently to a thickness of about 1/4 inch and set aside.
• Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add orzo, cook until al dente, about 8 minutes, and drain. Drain artichokes and discard lemon halves.
• Fold each parchment piece in half, cut into a half-heart shape, and open. About 2 to 3 inches from the crease, arrange a quarter of the artichoke slices and cover with 2 lemon slices. Arrange a quarter of the enoki and oyster mushrooms on top and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of thyme. Place one chicken breast and tenderloin on the artichokes and mushrooms and sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons of thyme. Place 3 lemon slices on chicken; cover with another quarter of the artichokes and mushrooms. Tuck 1 garlic clove close to chicken and drizzle with half the wine and stock mixture.
• Fold the other half of parchment over the ingredients. Make small overlapping folds to seal the edges, starting at the top of the heart.
• Two inches from the end, twist the parchment twice, gently but firmly, to seal the packet. Repeat, making the second packet. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Divide orzo between 2 plates; open packets, discard garlic cloves, and arrange contents on the orzo. Serve immediately.
